Thanks America and your elected regime for meddling in everyone’s lives. You might be shocked to learn your popularity is waning.

The sad (but unsurprising) thing is, whenever you encourage them to actually take a risk and take some kind of collective action to bring down the pedophile, they say “my job, I’m scared” when in the same paragraph, they talk about how they’re one paycheck from utter destruction.

They don’t realize that they literally have nothing to lose at this point.

More armchair badassery 🥱

Its super easy to talk shit on the internet

Like those armchairs you sat in when you could have voted and handled the pedophile in a peaceful manner. I just wish that the rest of the world wouldn’t have to suffer the consequences of your weakness and stupidity.

You literally listed the one thing we have left to lose

Well, it’s affecting you now. What are you going to do about it?

Protect my country, should any USians try to invade.

Americans are all cucks. The French would have had his head by now and rightfully so.

The fact that our popularity is only now waning is a testament to our propaganda.

Yeah but have you considered Kamala Harris would’ve been equally bad? 

JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz on 06 Apr 03:35 collapse

Even worse, she might have also done the terrible crime of wearing something tan and that would have seriously damaged the reputation of the United States.

StillAlive@piefed.world on 06 Apr 03:44 next collapse

Do you know she was endorsed by the corporates??? (Ignore Palantir and Oracle standing behind the orange turd)

Don’t forget about the laugh.

Eh. My impression is that most civilian air travel is not truly necessary. Tourism, and stuff that can be done with remote work.

I worry about stuff like food prices for the poor. Somebody not being able to fly on vacation - not so much.

hitmyspot@aussie.zone on 06 Apr 01:15 next collapse

It’s not the flights per se, but the worrying future it suggests.

nullify3112@lemmy.world on 06 Apr 01:45 next collapse

I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.

Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.

In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.

That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.

It’s Europe, just take the train.

No trains to the north of Norway

Then use your electric cars.

boonhet@sopuli.xyz on 06 Apr 09:45 collapse

Yes, very soon. They’re building it now.

Excited to report they’re finally building Rail Baltica. When it’s ready in a decade, perhaps flying will be more expensive than the train finally. Hopefully enough to offset the time lost by taking the train.

Europe isn’t all connected to the same rail network even if people online would like you to believe that.

Evotech@lemmy.world on 06 Apr 04:50 collapse

He did say most

SpeedRunner@europe.pub on 06 Apr 05:42 collapse

If anything, they should limit fuel for private jets first. If we’re talking luxury - that’s were it is.

Not with some poor old chap squished like a sardine inside a Ryanair flight.

That would do a lot more for the environment and for fuel savings.

I would love to get on a train and arrive well rested into Amsterdam overnight. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet. Hopefully this crisis might speed up more efficient means of transport and reduce tax credits for airline fuel.

SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org on 06 Apr 06:24 collapse

Nah, they are just gonna subsidize kerosene with tax payer money and call it a day.

Well this is the upside of the war. Transport causes pollution so less transport is better for the planet. Similarly most human economic activity is bad for the environment. I think we could do to have a lot less of it. It will give us cave to focus on the important stuff, food, clean water and reading books at home by candlelight on an evening.

Please begin to restrict fuel for private jets, even if it would be symbolic

God bless USA and it’s president! For starting a real war! Should we starve? Yes we should, as the war not only brings a win, but also money! Thanks Lord for the president you have given us!!! Let’s all starve! /S

Good. The flight industry as it exists today must disapear.

Yes, let billionaires fly and the rest of us should stay on the continent we’re born on.
